What worries me about appealing is that I don't end up shooting myself in the foot. If an automated algorithm removed my video, then a manual check of my video could have it restored, or the person that does the manual check could see the rest of my videos (which are similar to the one that got removed), and just remove them all, or suspend my entire account altogether.

I'm really split on whether I should appeal this shit or not. This sucks...

That said, I never take Youtube/Pinterest/Facebook/Twitter super super seriously. They're parasites. I mean, I'm a parasite on them. Automate as much as possible and let sit. The one thing I take seriously are my websites, where I have the control!

Very very good tip:

Frankly, I never had a problem with Freedom. At the end of every month they send me the few cents I've made in earnings. Are they shaving? Perhaps. But it's passive and easy and simple, and just something extra for me.

I still haven't gotten a reply from Youtube about my video, but another bad thing happened.

I had the channel monetized with Freedom.tm. Today they unliked my channel. It seems I'm not the only one this happened to. I found this video (not my video) about it on Youtube:

I'm getting a bad feeling about my channel. I hope I don't lose it/lose all the videos I have on it.

If you do not have all those videos on your hard drive/cloud/somewhere, it would be wise to download them now so if they do go away you still have them and can edit them a little and start a new channel.

Oh I have all the videos backed up of course.

But if I lose the videos/channel, what's the point of starting a new channel? They'll just delete that one too.

I guess I'll just upload the videos on my own site and host them myself. I hate playing cat and mouse with any social network.

Let me just say that my video was restored after I appealed the suspension. The video is alive and well still.

Also, the Freedom removing my monetization situation. I contacted them about it and they said it's because I haven't posted in over 3 months. And as soon as I post another video I should contact them, and they'll enable monetization again. But I've been lazy and didn't make a video still. It's on my to-do list.

So I guess all is well that ends well. This whole situation was just an unnecessary inconvenience. What's a guy to do eh..
